About this dive site

This dive site is located on the Colorado River, between Hoover Dam and Davis Dam. The water temperature remains consistently cool, rarely exceeding 64 degrees Fahrenheit due to its origin from the dam outflow. The state line separating Nevada and Arizona runs directly down the river's course. A unique opportunity exists here: diving can take you across two states simultaneously, provided the dam isn’t releasing significant volumes of water. Be aware of a fishing pier in the area; exercise caution to avoid hooks or lines. Visibility is typically excellent due to the river's flow, maintaining clear waters. Diving is permitted at picnic tables situated north of the Marina, near the fishing pier.
